Tonight’s been one of those daunting “where have I been OMG OMG” nights on the tubes.

• NFS? Ha! That’s OLD SKOOL. Sun’s got lustre, a free, open-source SAN with no single point of failure. Ubuntu Hardy’s got a lustre kernel patch. I’ll see how easy it is to apply. It sure looks nifty.
• Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API.
• HAProxy
• Enterprise messaging systems to simple for you? You obviously haven’t adopted ESB.
• OSGi is already in Spring and Guice, and I’ve seen the jar, but it warrants more research. Hot-pluggable modules would be slick for hot-patching daemons.
• Take the leap from svn to git? Github, are you the answer? But what about UI support on Mac? Ah. Looks like there’s git4idea. Neat.
• Google Code University. Woah.
